West Virginia: House to Vote on Firearms Preemption Legislation Tomorrow

Tomorrow, April 11, the West Virginia House of Delegates will hold its third and final reading on the amended version of Senate Bill 435, sponsored by state Senator Herb Snyder (D-16). As amended, SB 435 encourages Charleston and three other cities that currently have and enforce local gun control ordinances to be consistent and uniform with the rest of the state. This is a step in the right direction to eliminate the remaining patchwork of misguided firearms laws that are unfortunately still on the books in certain localities.
